Shipping Cost Comparison: USPS vs. UPS vs. FedEx

Cheapism compared the cost of shipping parcels from New York to residential addresses in Chicago and San Francisco via FedEx, UPS, and the U.S. Postal Service, using the sender's own 12" x 9" x 6" packaging or a flat-rate box from the Postal Service. Each shipping provider offers standard ground delivery, various two- or three-day options, and overnight service. The U.S. Postal Service charges different prices depending on whether a customer mails a package from the post office or prints a shipping label at home and schedules a pickup via USPS.com.
